PINEVILLE, La. (9/30/2022) – Louisiana Christian University (LCU) is preparing to give students an exclusive view of campus. The academic life during President Rick Brewer was the school’s most significant Preview Day.
“More Christian students from our churches need the educational experience we provide, devoid of the woke and critical theories agenda,” Brewer told the Baptist Message. “Equipping hearts and minds to engage with competence. Confidence in a turbulent culture has never been more needed than at this seminal moment. Additionally, we are moving our enrollment forward after two years when COVID-19. The reduced opportunities to meet prospective students face-to-face on campus or off.
“Preview Day will allow students to have a fun time, meet coaches and faculty and learn about what it’s going to take to get that degree,” he continued. “It’s a win-win for our LCU community, churches around the state, and prospective students. I urge pastors and youth pastors to load a van full of students and join us.”
Scheduled for Oct. 8, 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Preview Day will allow guests to tour the campus, gain details about classes and degree majors from professors, interact with students who will share why they chose LCU for their undergraduate degrees, and learn about student clubs and organizations, athletics and residential life.
Brewer said he is thankful for the many blessings God has bestowed on the school despite the challenges faced since the coronavirus pandemic.
During the 2021-22 academic year, LCU celebrated: accreditation reaffirmation with no findings of non-compliance from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (the regional accrediting body); a name change to reflect its status as a university; transition in sports classification from the NCAA to NAIA; updates to classrooms; a partnership expansion with New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary; and the sale of prime property in Shreveport.
The school has launched the Jonathan E. Martin Masters in Business Administration program this academic year. The program offers distinctive emphases on data analytics, finance, accounting, healthcare, marketing, management, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
“We are Louisiana Baptists’ school,” Brewer said. “We treasure and value that relationship. This is where moms, dads, pastors, and youth pastors can know their students will get an excellent education.
“We are preparing graduates, transforming lives, and preparing future church leaders,” he continued. “That’s what we are about and doing.”
